The Camellias are big bloomers right now; I am glad I picked these before the heavy rain began since they sometimes lose petals when we have  prolonged wet weather.

I bought this Mercury glass vase the other day just so I could paint it. This was a fun challenge and I can't wait to try it again soon.

Hope you've had a happy and productive (or relaxing) week-end. Thanks for stopping by.

This was an early morning painting because I knew I would be out most of the day. I even cut these Camellias last night so I wouldn't have to go out in the morning to get them.

It has been a gorgeous day, with temperatures in the high seventies and my friend and I had lunch together and shopped, then had afternoon coffee. What a fun day it has been and tonight my husband is taking me to dinner. I will get back in my routine tomorrow but it's been nice to play for an entire day.

Thanks for looking at my art!

Counting The Days

Christmas Camellias, 8 x 8 x 1.5" oil on gallery wrapped canvas, ©2012, Fay Terry

Everything is falling into place here as the beehive of construction activity winds down and these flowers are going to be adorning our new kitchen as soon as the freshly refinished floor is dry.  I can hardly wait to try out my new gas oven by baking cookies and bread in the next few days.

I loved getting time in my studio to paint these flowers, arranged in one of my favorite handmade pottery vases.  It felt so good to be reminded of the beauty in nature and of flowers that bloom even in the winter.

I hope you find something beautiful to look at today!

Camellias With Granny Smith, 5 x 7 " oil on museum quality panel, ©2012, Fay Terry

I have to admit, these flowers are really fun to paint because each one is different and the dark shiny leaves form a dramatic backdrop for the bright Camellias. This is the first one that has been open far enough to show the pretty yellow center.

Thank you for following my art.
